Israeli settlers and soldiers killed three Palestinians in their village near Ramallah on Saturday night, the third deadly attack in a week of surging Israeli violence across the occupied West Bank.

Israeli settlers have shot dead five civilians during invasions of Palestinian olive groves, villages and grazing land, in the brief period since Israel and the US launched a new war on Iran at the end of February. A sixth person died on Saturday after inhaling military-grade tear gasused by the Israeli army.

The escalating regional conflict diverted diplomatic, media and political attention away from occupied Palestine, even as Israeli authorities imposed a new blockade on Gaza and brought in sweeping movement restrictions across the occupied West Bank, and settlers intensified Israeli attacks on Palestinian land, crops, livestock and homes.
